Was really hoping that I would see an entry that said "We have finally realized our mistake on wings suddenly coming off in flight when someone makes an aggressive maneuver in a fighter aircraft at high speeds and have simply added in flight surfaces compression and effects for more realistic flight modeling." Again, its not there. Sigh

The mini map in an incredible upgrade. I have mostly used that for situational awareness and it is by far one of the best quality of life upgrades. Love the new CP furniture and textures, art on the walls etc. Sapper with a bolt is primo. Thanks for always continuing to make the game better. Certainly delivered on this one. Can only hope the DD guys align with the new damage model. I have to get better at navy...
